Probably different tiers for different prices - mostly "gimme moniez and you'll get vr thing when done." I guess.

Needless to say, this is the biggest "Death of Kickstarter" argument to date.

As far as I know they kickstarted the DK1, which happened. All links severed.

Also chadz makes good points, people should read them.

Note that the guys at Oculus either are not interested anymore and just want to cash out, either actually needed more support (wish is extremely doubtful given what they already got), or lacked the entrepreneurial mindset to not be bitches and get that two billion the hard way.

People never would have backed a project on Kickstarter if it said "Hello this is Facebook we want to make VR goggles give us money", that's a fact.

So if this turns into some gay Facebook-ish crap i guess Sony's VR googles will be the way to go :l

Facebook and Google seems to become the first megacorporation on earth, buying everything that is somewhat related to something they could have an interest in.

If they dont bankrupt soon, they will eat countries in the near future 

Corporate republics for the win!

That's a weird way to connect with people....

I reckon its more the fact that its a nxtgen thing, and babylon wants monopoly.

It's not even only the "tech" giants doing this either.

Definite dollar signs in eyes here.
